what a record ! &mdash 02/09/08 - 05:46:41 AM
Great sound, great vocals and a great song. What else is there. Nice parts that all fit together. Love the percussion. The vocals are strong but light at the same time if that makes any sense, I mean by this that they are lifted away from the instruments. Your voice is natural and sincere. We have enough Rhydians in the world. Excellent all 'round.

That's it &mdash 02/09/08 - 06:50:51 AM
You've got a new fan. Second song of yours I've heard and I wasn't disappointed with either one.

My musical tastes are all over the place but there is a special place in my heart for well done pop music.

Keep them coming!

Excellent .. &mdash 02/09/08 - 07:17:42 AM

.. this would sound great live .. great mix.

My only nits are on the vocal production .. suffering a
bit from plosives "p" "t" and "b"s.. which makes me wonder: pop-shield? and you can reduce 'S' with some EQing down in the 700KHz range .. (I think) ..

Logic has a de-esser .. and other mastering tools like
Ozone (I use) can easily fix this with the parametric EQ.

Thanks for sharing. New fan.

you mean I need a title for my comments?!? &mdash 02/09/08 - 08:33:04 AM
Great tune. Kinda Cars meets REM. I'm a little confused how you got my wife to pose for that painting... :-D

Almost wish APB didn't make those production notes cause then I started listening for those plosives.

Hi Mark. &mdash 02/09/08 - 01:24:13 PM
I think this is my fav of this particular incarnation, perhaps its the guitar that apealls to me. You certainly have this genre down. Nice song writing and singing, and nice to see you here. Regards

Hi Mark, great tune! Nice performance all around: vocals, lyrics, guitars, synths, and a driving groove. Nice work!

Welcome to MJ! &mdash 02/09/08 - 05:28:14 PM
Stunning production on a classy song - really like everything about this. APB's comments are pretty accurate (he's like that!), but really easily corrected (and we all do it at some stage or another), and for me they didn't really detract from the sheer quality of what you've done.
Hope a lot of you iCompers stick around once things get back to normal over there.

Pop-alicious &mdash 02/09/08 - 11:14:09 PM
Nice tight, melodic pop song.

Sort of a cross of Greg Kihn and The Romantics.

Cool! ;)

80's Pop at its Best! &mdash 02/12/08 - 09:38:14 PM
Pros: Well develope! Great drum fill intro, which pops right at you. Energetic flow throughout the piece. The Rhythm is clear (Guitars, bass drums), Love the superseded synth parts. Well structure piece, build nicely, vocals carries the tune in conjunction with the keyboards. Production is clear (mixed/balanced/panned/effects) and authentic for the genre to boot! Great use for ending fade-out.

Cons: N/A

Suggestion: N/A
